Love. Honor. Protect. As an Environmental Studies major, Allie knows the planet is in trouble-a series of natural disasters recently rocked the northern hemisphere, and species across the globe are going extinct. What Allie doesn't know is that her world's decline is a result of an ancient battle called the Night War-the Norse goddess Nott's crusade to control the weakest of the light realms. And Allie most definitely doesn't know that her existence is the only thing stopping Nott from dragging the earth into total darkness.When four gorgeous guys show up claiming to be Allie's Asgardian protectors, she thinks they're delusional. And when they order her to hunt down the pieces of an immortal weapon, she's convinced they're insane. But when Allie's attacked, the guys' crazy stories of demigods and dark elves begin coming together. And Allie's not sure what scares her more-losing her life to the Goddess of Night . . . or losing her heart to one of her protectors.Let the hunt begin.

With the Norse apocalypse a nanosecond away, Inga has to decide how she'll spend her final moments of freedom.

The Elsker Saga - Book Two. Featured in USA TODAY! Sometimes, finding your destiny means doing the exact opposite of what The Fates have planned. Winning the heart of an immortal assassin was a dream come true for Kristia Tostenson. But her decision to become immortal could end in heartbreak-not only for Kristia, but also for the god who loves her. While Ull would do anything to protect his bride, even the God of Winter is powerless against the Norse apocalypse. Ragnarok is coming. And the gods aren't even close to ready.

Hunt down the weapon pieces, destroy the night goddess, protect Midgard (Earth). That was always the mission . . . When an unexpected sacrifice turns Allie's world on its head, she discovers her true function within the Asgardian world. Her new purpose has much higher stakes-and significantly bigger dangers-than she ever could have imagined. And as the Goddess of Night unleashes an unparalleled wave of fury across the realms, Allie's dream of a peaceful future with her favorite protector all but disappears. Nott's determined to control Midgard. But Allie has more to fight for than ever before, and she's determined to end the Night War . . . no matter what it costs her.

Become what you believe. Elsa Fredriksen knows there's a thin line between love and fear. As High Healer, she rights the wrongs committed by those who choose the darkness. But even Asgard's secret weapon can't undo every injury-especially when her fate is completely entwined with the god she's trying to save. Elsa's in love with the Norse God of Justice. But Forse's heart is ruled by fear-fear that the past will repeat itself; fear that opening his heart will compromise his ability to do his job; fear that he'll hurt the one girl he desperately wants to protect. Again. When Elsa faces off against the very monster she once swore to protect, her survival depends on a power she isn't sure she can control. And when Forse's worst nightmare unfolds in front of him, Elsa has to decide whether it's more important to hold the realms in perfekt balance . . . or hold onto the guy she can't imagine existing without.

Allie Rydell left her life behind to protect the world from the Goddess of Night. But after weeks of training, hunting, and learning to use the life-giving power that inexplicably chose her, saving Midgard seems more impossible than ever. Nott's followers have eyes across the realms, and they're determined to collect the bounty on Allie's soul. And the closer Allie and her protectors get to the pieces of the immortal weapon that could save them all, the more destruction Nott manages to unleash-not only on the world Allie loves, but on the friends she'd give her life to save.Darkness is coming. And this time, it won't leave any survivors.

For honor. For love. For Asgard. Valkyrie Brynn Aksel is ready for some downtime. But when an urgent warning arrives from Asgard, heralding the death of a beloved god and the dawn of Ragnarok-the not-so-mythological end of days-it becomes clear there's no rest for the gods...not when the future of the realms is on the line. Goddess of Love Freya Skönsten can't shake the darkness that's clung to her since her Helheim imprisonment. An unsanctioned romantic connection with a mortal is the only thing keeping her in the light, but Freya's vow to the Norns prevents her from fully uniting with her perfekt match. When Hel returns to finish what she started, Freya must decide how much she's ready to sacrifice to save the family she loves...and whether she's willing to give up everything for the worlds she's sworn to protect. With the forces of darkness aligning to destroy the realms, it's clear more than just Love hangs in the balance. Ragnarok has arrived. And it's shaping up to be the perfekt storm.

All's fair when you're in love with War.For Mia Ahlström, a world ruled by order is the only world she allows. A lifetime of chore charts, to-do lists and study schedules have helped earn her a spot at Redwood State University's engineering program. And while her five year plan includes finding her very own happily-evah-aftah, years at an all-girls boarding school left her feeling woefully unprepared for keg parties and co-ed extracurricular activities. So nothing surprises her more than catching the eye of Tyr Fredriksen at her first college party. The imposing Swede is arrogantly charming, stubbornly overprotective, and runs hot-and-cold in ways that defy reason . . . until Mia learns that she's fallen for the Norse God of War; an immortal battle deity hiding on Midgard (Earth) to protect a valuable Asgardian treasure from a feral enemy. With a price on his head, Tyr brings more than a little excitement to Mia's rigidly controlled life. Choosing Tyr may be the biggest distraction-or the greatest adventure-she's ever had.
